I doubt very much that the maintainer of the blackdown .debs would compile
woody packages with gcc3.x

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/javaplugin_oji.so should be a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/javaplugin_oji.so

:-) Well there are other jvm's (hence the use of /etc/alternatives)...
$ apt-cache search java-virtual-machine
gij-3.2 - The GNU Java bytecode interpreter
gij-3.3 - The GNU Java bytecode interpreter
kaffe - A JVM to run Java bytecode
sablevm - Free implementation of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) second edition
ibm-jdk1.1-installer - Installer for IBM Developer Kit for Linux, Java(TM)
Technology Edition
j2re1.3 - Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
jre1.1 - Blackdown Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE1.1)
j2re1.4 - Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
...but I'd say the blackdown was your best bet.
Just out of curiosity, could you do
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives > somefilename.txt
and post it to me off-list.
